Thanks for the comments. All I did was peel the old ones off and dropped them off at a local place that does custom flowjet cutting. I cost me $160 total; about $80 for the material and $80 for the labor and programming.

Cleaned the carpet in our ''01 205V.. I don't think it's ever been cleaned. I used laundry detergent (oxy clean), scrubbed the whole area with a brush, let it soak, hosed it all down the bilge then did the same thing with some Downey. Now it's been sitting in the sun for a couple of days drying out. Thanks to the tips from this board, the carpet looks great.

Back in July, I had some weld work done on the trailer to shift the boat a foot farther back (19 1/2' boat is sitting on a 20 1/2' boat trailer). Finally today I shelled out the $4 for a can of Rustoleum red spray paint to finish the job. Up close you can see some drips and some spots but from 6 feet away it looks great and that's all I care about.

Cleaned speedo pickups and lines. Soaked the pickups in CLR then picked away with a paper clip for 15 minutes. Blew air through the lines (unattached from gauges, of course), reattached and will hope for accurate speeds the next time I take her out.
